Champions League Qualifiers.

[Guest Kaizer]

I`m watching the Rangers game at the moment, they are struggling and its 0-0 at half time but they could easily have been chasing the game already.

 

Pyunik - Shakhtar Donetsk 0-2

Tampere United - Levski Sofia 1 - 0

FC Copenhagen - Beitar Jerusalem 1 - 0

 

75 Racing Genk 1 - 1 FK Sarajevo

60 Debrecen 0 - 0 Elfsborg

60' Zaglebie Lubin 0 - 1 Steaua Bucuresti

 

HT Rangers 0 - 0 Zeta Golubovci

Rangers 1-0 up, but they have got a player sent off as well.

 

Can we meet them in the next round or are they seeded?

Elfsborg has just scored. Would love to see the reds play in Sweden myself...

All the seeded teams must surely be pre-qualified for the 3rd round?

 

Think we could be drawn with anyone who comes off the 2nd round plus a few others

Full time:

Pyunik - Shakhtar Donetsk 0-2

Tampere United - Levski Sofia 1 - 0

FC Copenhagen - Beitar Jerusalem 1 - 0

Racing Genk - FK Sarajevo 1 - 1

Debrecen - Elfsborg 0 - 1

Zaglebie Lubin - Steaua Bucuresti 0 - 1

 

Rangers 2-0 up now, the second goal was highly debatable.

Did I read somewhere that we could draw Lazio?

The offal had something like if we play Lazio or a couple of other teams in the CL qualifiers then they will be the 100th different side we've met in European competition. However I'm not sure if that takes the seedings into account. Would be surprised if Lazio aren't seeded.

Champions League Qualifiers second round, first leg.

 

Tuesday`s results:

Pyunik - Shakhtar Donetsk 0-2

Tampere United - Levski Sofia 1 - 0

FC Copenhagen - Beitar Jerusalem 1 - 0

Racing Genk - FK Sarajevo 1 - 1

Debrecen - Elfsborg 0 - 1

Zaglebie Lubin - Steaua Bucuresti 0 - 1

Rangers - Zeta Golubovci 2 - 0

 

Wednesday`s results:

FC Astana - Rosenborg 1 - 3

Ventspils - SV Salzburg 0 - 3

Besiktas - FC Sheriff 1 - 0

Zilina - Slavia Prague 0 - 0

Red Star Belgrade - Levadia Tallinn 1 - 0

NK Domzale - Dinamo Zagreb 1 - 2

Hafnarfjordur - BATE Borisov 1 - 3

 

So any teams we would like to avoid out of this bunch?

 

I think there are a couple of potential banana skins if I`m being pessimistic, but we should beat these teams either way, on the other hand, so should we with most teams in the PL.

 

Our last couple of qualifiers have been close enough affairs to be honest and some of these teams are better teams than Maccabi Haifa, CSKA Sofia and Grazer AK.

I know what you mean but WTF have Lazio done in the last few years to earn the co-efficient points? Genuine question.

FC Sherrif for me. Diao was s*** as one player in our team, so I fancy our chances against a team of Sherrifs. My formation would actually be:

 

Carragher

Carragher Carragher Carragher Carragher

Carragher Carragher Carragher Carragher

Carragher Dundee

co-efficient points are comprised at a national and club level.

So, Milan have won it and been runners up in the last 3 seasons.

So, while Lazio themselves have done nowt, Italian clubs will gain points from the national performance.

There is a reason Everton started in the 3rd round qualifiers, it was not because of their glorious record in Europe.
